TAMMANYIS BIG vmrom
The Vote for the Tammany Ticket About
225,000—Low Second in the Race —
Henry George's Total Vote Will Hardly.
_Beach 20,000.
,Tammany has made a clean sweep
in the Greater New York.
Van Wyck has been elected Mayor
by a plurality 'of 82,000.’ His total vote
will reach 228,000.
Low is second, with a vote that will
not exceed 146,000. ' '
Tracy’s total vote apprpximates 100,-
000.
George’s vote is estimated at'19,000.
The result sho'vvs that fully 80,000 of
the registered voters in the greater city
failedto cast their ballots.
Justice Robert, A. Van Wyck was
elected first Mayor of Greater New
York by a plurality which denotes be-
yond a question that the rule of Rich-
ard'Croker is preferred to that of the
reformers” The fight was made against
Croker direct. The reformers quarrelled
at the beginning of the campaign over
the prospective spoils of office, and
never after came together. Mr. Low
and Gen. Tracy were ‘both Republicans,
but they fought’each other furiously,
thus antagonizing many interests
which would have been with them
otherwise. All independent organiza-
tions supported Mr. Low, and with the
support of the Republican machine, so—
called, he doubtless would have been
elected.
The death of Henry George did not
probably affect the result, except pos-
sibly to make greater Van Wyck’s plu-
rality.
The interest in the election was in-
' ternational. The excitement over the
contest was intense. There were eight
candidates for Mayor in the field, and
the rivalry between four of these was
of the fiercest kind.
There were 200 ofi‘ices to be filled at
this election, for which there were 854
candidates. The 567,000 registered vot-
ers were divided among 1,500 polling
places, of which 833 were in Manhattan
. and Bronx boroughs. Notwithstanding
the increased size of the districts and
the enormous size of the blanket ballot
there was little difficulty experienced in

ROBERT A. VAN WYCK.
casting the vote, althoughjn view of
the numberof split tickets it was hard
to count the vote. j '
The death of Henry George caused
one complication. Although his son
was named as his successor on the
ticket it was censidered necessary to
put pasters bearing the name of Henry
George over the name of Henry George
in order that there should be no mis-
take as to the intention of the voter.
Such a complication as this probably
never before happened in an election.
In some districts these pasters were
omitted by' the inspectors, and the
question arises whether this fact in-
validates the vote for George thus cast.
The balloting yesterday was con-
spicuous for the quiet manner in which
it was conducted. There was little
trouble with the police, and compara-
tively few men were arrested for illegal
voting. No colonization of voters was
apparent.
During the campaign Justice Van
Wyck maintained a most dignified de-
meanor. He never said a word of villi-
fication of another candidate.
After the first week of the campaign
had closeleohn C. Sheehan predicted
that Tammany would win with a big
plurality. When Henry George died
matters for a moment were complicat-
ed, but in a short time Mr. Sheehan
recognized that the death of the great
economist would add to Van Wyck's
vote.-
Tammany'Hail never polled in this
city'less than 38 percent. of the full
vote. The‘_ organization three years
ago, when the wave of reform was
sweeping over the city, polled 40 per
cent. ' ‘
Even 'last year, when the gold be-
lievers forsook the party and support-
ed the Republican candidate, Tammany
still rolled up 40 per cent. of the total
vote. '
It was easily figured out as soonas
the Various Mayoralty candidates got
in the field that if Tammany could
maintain the percentage of the total
vote ‘hat she had held in former years
, she would win easily. . .
For, giving Tammany 40 per cent. of
the total. that left only 60 per cent. to
be distributed among Gen: Tracy, Seth
Low, Henry George, Patrick Gleason,
the Socialist candidate and the Prohi-
bition candidate.
As it Was assumed that Tracy, Low
and George each had a considerable
following, it became apparent in a mo-
ment that Van Wyck would have
thlngs pretty much his own way.
York was in a large measure the case
in Brooklyn. The lowest percentage
ever polled by the regular Democracy
in Brooklyn was 33 per cent. of the.
total vote.
All New York turned out last night
to celebrate fittingiy the close of the
election in the open air. With voice,
and the blare of home, the click of rat-
tles and the shriek of whistles. people
celebrated from the time the victory
' was first foreshadowed to the final cor-
tain'ty, which took the sting of excite-
ment from it'and left it flat and stale.
Those whom the victory didn't please,
if they wouldn’t add to the noise at
least wouldn’t diminish it, and to the .
' the street and attacked him.
Croker Announces the Victory:
New York, Nov. 3.-—The triumph of
Tammany was formally announced to
the Indians in the Fourteenth street
Wigwam at exactly 9.15 o’clock last
night. The announcement was made
by Richard Croker in person from the
rostrum of the hall, and it was re--
ceived with a tiger\yell that drowned
the music of the. Sixty-ninth‘Regiment
Band and made the building echo and
re-echo for full five minutes. Finally
the throng was silenced, and Mr. Cro-
ker said:
“Fellow Democrats of Tammany
Hall: It affords me pleasure to an-
nounce to you that Judge Van Wyck‘
and all the other candidates on the.
Tammany ticket have been elected.
We have been villified and traduced as
Democrats, but by their votes the good
people of this great city have decided
that we are right in the battle we made
for genuine good government.”
' The rest of the speech was drowned
in the wild storm of cheers that greet—
ed the gray-haired leader of the Wig- .
warn. He bowed, said “Good night,”
and was fairly carried off his feet as
the crowd on the platform swept for-
ward to grasp his hand. .
Platt Receives Returns.
New York, Nov. 3.—Senator Platt,
Chairman Hackett, of the Republican
State Committee, and Representative
Quigg, chairman of the Republican
City Campaigners, were not at all
daunted by_the defeat of the Republi-
can cause. Representative Quigg re-
ceived the returns at Republican city
headquarters, 1 Madison avenue, early
in the evening, and then joined Senator
,Platt and Chairman Hackett at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. Luther Little,
chief of the literary bureau of the Re-
publican State Commmittee, read off
the returns. They told of the exceed-
ingly light vote in .the country districts
for United States Circuit Court Judge .
William J. Wallace, the Republican
candidate for Chief Judge of the Court
of Appeals,’ and a smashing Demo-
cratic vote below thevBronx for Su-
preme Court Justice Alton B. Parker,
the Democratic candidate. "
The heavy vote for Justice Parker in
Greater New York is due largely to‘the
fact that he headed both the Tammany
and the Ship Democracy’s ticket, and
it should be recalled that the Ship De-
mocracy’s ticket was filled out with
the Citizens’ Union ticket, headed by
Seth Low for Mayor. The great slump
in Henry George’s vote was predicted
from the hour Henry George, Sn.
passed away.
Detroit’s Mayor Ike-Elected.
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 3.—William C.
Maybury, the present Mayor of Detroit,
who was elected last Spring on the
Democratic 'silver ticket by about 500
plurality, was re-elected for a full term
of' two years by a plurality closely ap-
proximating 1,800. National politics did'
not cut any figure in the election, as
Mr. Maybury absolutely refused to ex-
press any views on the silver question
or the Chicago platform and main-
tained all through his campaign that
it was simply a question of local issue.
London Comments.
London, Nov. 3.—The_ Chronicle, com-
menting on the result of. the Mayoralty
contest in New York, says that the
election of Van Wyck is a deep source
of anxiety and disappointment.
Continuing,iit says that it had hoped
that New York would have .risen to
the great opportunity and shown Eu-
rope that a pure, progressive democ-
racy _ was a possibility. Their over:
throw ought to stimulate the reformers
to greater activity.
Candidate in Virginia Dies.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 3.—~Col. James
Cohcrane, the Republican candidate for
State Senator from the Ninth District,
was stricken with apoplexy yesterday
morning. He died in a few 'moments.
He had ordered his buggy to go to the
polls, and while waiting for it he was
stricken. ‘
Se'nntor Plntt Voted in Oswego.
Oswego, Nov. 3.—Senator Platt came
to Oswego on Sunday night. He voted
before 9 o’clock in District 5, oppo-
site A. H. Wag’s house, where he
boards when here. He was in the booth
such a short time that he must have
voted a straight ticket.
Warner Elected Mayor of Rochester.
Rochester, Nov. 3.—Monroe County
gives Wallace, for Chief Judge of the
Court of Appeals, 5,500 plurality. Roch-
ester City elects George E. Warner
Mayor by the combined -vote of the
Good Government and Democratic par-
ties.
